Frequently Asked Questions

Functional mushrooms, aka medicinal mushrooms, are fungi that deliver numerous health benefits, support nutrition, and help you meet your health and wellness goals. They’ve been used as medicine in ancient cultures for centuries, and now they’re available in various supplement forms, including powders, capsules, tinctures, and tasty, chewy gummies like Goomz.

More than 200 mushroom species are considered medicinal, but there is a small, select group of shrooms that deliver more effective and more powerful health benefits than the others. We use three of the most high-powered mushrooms in our delicious Goomz gummies: Lion’s mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps.

Lion's mane mushrooms (Hericium erinaceus) support cognitive function and brain health. They also help reduce depression, stress, and anxiety, have antioxidant and disease-fighting properties, and support gastrointestinal health.

Cordyceps mushrooms (Cordyceps sinensis) enhance energy levels and physical endurance. They have anti-aging properties, support heart health, and help fight inflammation.

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are often called the "mushroom of immortality" because they have immune-modulating properties. They also help to reduce inflammation in the body, improve sleep and relaxation, and help manage stress and anxiety.

Our recommended dosage for Goomz gummies is one gummy per day, and each variety comes in a thirty-pack to last one month. With our Sleep gummies, some people opt to take two, but we recommend that you start with one gummy to assess your tolerance before consuming more.

How you’ll feel will depend on which gummies you take.

Our Euphoria gummies support mood and relaxation to make you feel chill. They contain Lion’s mane to reduce stress and anxiety, Kava to relax your muscles and improve your sense of wellbeing, and psychoactive Blue Lotus that provides mood enhancement with a subtle euphoric effect.

Our Focus Energy gummies are formulated to boost your mood and improve mental clarity without the jittery feelings that come from other caffeinated products. Caffeine and energy terpenes give you a natural burst of energy, Lion’s mane mushrooms support brain health and cognitive function, and Cordyceps functional mushrooms improve endurance and athletic ability. The addition of Kanna strengthens your attention and focus further.

Goomz Sleep gummies are formulated to promote deep sleep. Perfect for taking before bedtime, they contain Reishi mushrooms to improve sleep and manage stress and anxiety and Kava to relax your muscles. We’ve included rest terpenes to help you unwind and magnesium to help you sleep better, sleep longer, and feel less tired the next day.

How often you can take Goomz mushroom gummies depends on which gummies you take. Scientific studies show that the Lion’s mane mushrooms in our Euphoria and Focus Energy gummies are safe to take daily for a period of up to 16 weeks. The Kava in our Euphoria and Sleep gummies is considered safe to take for up to 6 months.

Some people prefer to take one Goomz gummy every single day, while others take them two or three days in a row then take a few days off. “Everything in moderation” is a good general rule to live by, so we recommend taking Goomz gummies when you need them and taking days off when you don’t.

Goomz mushroom gummies are not psychedelic because they contain functional mushrooms, not psilocybin mushrooms. (Psilocybin mushrooms are the ones that make you trip). Our gummies will not make you hallucinate, see pink elephants, or see your face melt in the mirror — they are 100% psilocybin-free.

Though made with natural ingredients, side effects may occur after consuming mushroom gummies. Our gummies are generally well-tolerated, but there are side effects to be aware of: 

Nausea and Stomach Discomfort

The most common side effect of functional mushroom supplements is nausea and upset stomach. In extreme cases, some people may also experience diarrhea.

Allergic Reactions

You might experience an allergic reaction if you have a mushroom allergy or are sensitive to any of the other ingredients in our gummies. Mild reactions like rash and itchy skin are most common, though some people have more severe side effects, like swelling or shortness of breath.

Sleepiness

Depending on which gummies you take, you may experience sleepiness or feel groggy the next day. Our Euphoria and Sleep gummies contain Kava, which can make you feel drowsy and make it unsafe to operate heavy machinery or drive a motor vehicle.

Decreased Blood Sugar Levels

Our Euphoria and Focus Energy gummies contain the functional mushroom Lion’s mane, which can lower blood sugar levels. While not an issue for most people, this side effect can be dangerous for those who take blood sugar-lowering diabetes medications.

Blood Thinning

The Lion’s mane mushrooms in our Euphoria and Focus Energy gummies have blood-thinning effects. This is a benefit for some people but can be harmful to people who have blood disorders, take anticoagulants or blood thinning medications, or have surgery scheduled within two weeks.

Increased Auto-Immune Disease Symptoms

Because Lion’s mane mushrooms boost the immune system, people with autoimmune diseases may see an increase in symptoms after consuming Euphoria or Focus Energy gummies.

Liver and Kidney Damage

When taken in large doses or over a prolonged period of time, Kava can increase your risk for liver and kidney damage. People who have or have ever had kidney or liver issues should not consume Kava, even in gummy form.
